Air Play from my Apple TV can't been seen on any of my iOS devices?

I've tried everything... Rebooting my router, rebooting my modem, restarting my Apple TV, changing the language on my iPad and nothing seems to work. Even though my Apple TV shows that it has a strong connection to my network and all of the other iOS devices are working properly, I can't get my Apple TV to been seen by my iPad2, iPad mini, or either one of our two Mac Book Pros. I know Air Play works on my MacBook because I use it at work all the time for displaying on conference room displays, but our Apple TV remains invisible to all of the other iOS devices in our house.

Apple TV, iOS 7

make sure the required ports are not blocked in your router

Well known TCP and UDP ports used by Apple software products

and test by connecting the Apple TV by ethernet and the computer by ethernet

and some routers keep ethernet, 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz as separate networks and one needs to bridge them in other for devices to talk

and finally if you own the old aluminium Apple TV then it does not support airplay at all
